A pirate gathering on Raritan River
|
April 1 - With the end of winter and March coming to a close, Teresa and I did an 1100 mile road trip via a stopover at my marina in Maryland where Capt Jane hosted a Friday night drinkathon aboard Bliss until the wee hours. We returned to Bliss in the morning for a brunch that included everything from several different quiches to an assortment of fruits, pastries and a bountiful array of breakfast meats, all washed down with copious quantities of mimosas.
From Maryland we drove north and after doing a quick change into proper pirate garb at John and Gail's home, we shared a bottle of wine and drove off to the Morgan Creek Yacht Club annual dinner-dance. There, we hooked up with many old friends including Tom and Donna, Rich and Lori and Carol's daughter Nancy who came to support me in my first book signing of "Sailing with Carol."
Teresa and I drove home Sunday but not before stopping for lunch at Baltimore's Inner Harbor where we sampled tapas and sangria at Las Tasca. My motive was more than just lunch and as anticipated, Teresa became hooked on the magic of Inner Harbor where we'll return aboard Lastdance over Memorial Day Weekend.
My plans are to remain here through April and depart around May 3rd. I'll stop in Bellhaven, NC flor 5 days to return to Raleigh for Teresa's daughter's graduation and then sail back to Kent Island on beautiful Chesapeake Bay for the summer. Sailboat Bill is also returning to the Bay so maybe we'll cross tracks along the way. Until then, be well friends and sail on!
